Chapter 285 New Mansion (Part 2)
Arriving at the castle vestibule, Gervis rode on his unicorn and waited with Pat for Vivian and Bonita to come out.
After last night's events, Gervis could be said to have become a famous noble, if for no other reason than the unicorn that Gervis rode.
Not many people know how Gervis rescued Alice and how he fought the orcs because they want to protect Gervis.
But Gervase's unicorn detoxified Gandalf and others in the banquet hall, and it was done in front of everyone's eyes.
So whether it was Alice's vassal or guests from other places, when they met Gervis, they would politely step forward to say hello and chat with him, taking the opportunity to get closer to some unicorns.
Being able to own a mount that only the king can have shows Gervis's strength and background. People used to hear rumors that Gervis was just a lucky gigolo, but after last night's incident, people felt that the rumors were not credible.
Just ask which pretty boy can own a unicorn, and which pretty boy can give away two Warcraft crystals at once.
After waiting for a while in the vestibule, Gervis had met no less than ten nobles who came forward to greet him and then kept observing the appearance of the unicorn, which made Pat, who was standing aside, jealous.
Now Pat is completely convinced of Gerves. Of course, this was also his expectation after his first visit to Gerves Castle. Gerves will definitely be very successful, but Pat did not expect Gerves to be so successful so quickly.
When Gervis came, he was still a baron, but now he has become a viscount.
You know, Pat's family's baronship has been passed down for four or five generations, but there has been no progress and it is still standing still.
…
After waiting for Bonita and Vivian, Gervis gave an order and the group left the castle and headed straight for the East District.
The streets of Winterfell showed no sign of being affected by last night's events. Pedestrians were passing by in an endless stream, and Gervais and others soon arrived at the square in the East District.
From a distance, Gervis saw that there were still many noble women and children queuing up in front of his store to buy ice cream.
Gervis did not stop in the store, but walked straight across the square and continued walking forward along Champagne Avenue.
As the group moved forward, the street soon became wider, the pedestrians became fewer, and exquisite and tall gates appeared on both sides of the road.
"It should be here, 16 Avenue de Champagne!"
Looking at the gate of the mansion in front of him, which was made of white marble and had many murals carved on it, Gervis took out the title deed and confirmed it again, and found that this was his new mansion.
"Lord Gervis!"
After Gervis got off his horse, he immediately attracted the attention of two soldiers on duty at the door.
When the soldier saw clearly the appearance of Gervis and the huge unicorn under him, he immediately saluted respectfully and shouted.
"Well, is this Luo Er's mansion?"
Gervis nodded and asked the soldier.
"Yes, sir, Butler Lina asked us to guard here and wait for you to come and receive us!"
"Thank you for your hard work! These are your rewards!"
Gervis nodded and took out a silver coin from his pocket.
The doors of these luxurious mansions have no locks from the outside and need to be locked from the inside. So in order to prevent someone from sneaking in and causing damage, Lina specially asked someone to stay here.
"Thank you for the reward, sir!"
Seeing that Gervis was so generous, the two soldiers were flattered and took the silver coins from Gervis, and their postures became more humble and respectful.
"Wow! So beautiful! Gervis, can we stay at your place when we come to Winterfell next time?"
At this time, Bonita was walking in front, looking around from time to time under the marble door, or touching the reliefs on both sides of the door frame, exclaiming in amazement as she touched.
"Come on, let's go in and take a look first!"
Gervis ignored the irritable Bonita and led everyone directly into his new mansion.
When Gervis walked into the gate of the mansion, what caught his eye was a large lawn and garden. The lawn and garden were carefully trimmed. It would be more appropriate to call this house a manor rather than a mansion.
"Grevith, I envy you a little! If I could, I would trade my castle for this mansion! This is the residence that nobles enjoy!"
Pat was also surprised by Gervis's new mansion and joked with him with a smile.
Although the castle is the symbol of every noble lord, most castles are prepared for war, but this manor is the most suitable place to live.
A broad view and a comfortable environment. In front of Gervis and his companions was a wide and flat avenue with gardens and lawns on both sides. The avenue extended to a huge two-story marble building in the front.
This marble building is full of medieval architectural features. Both its shape and craftsmanship represent the highest level of excellence of the world's craftsmen. Gervis also saw that the rows of windows were all transparent glass windows made of crystal slices. They were colorful, not only making the entire building more gorgeous, but also allowing the entire house to have the best lighting.
"Haha! Pat, if you like, I'll sell it to you for 3,000 gold coins. How about that? I usually live in Storm Territory and don't have much time to live here. Besides, it costs a lot to maintain this mansion!"
Although this mansion is large, someone must take care of and maintain it. Gervis feels that without investing more than ten or twenty gold coins a year, it would be impossible to guarantee the maintenance of the mansion.
“I don’t have that much money!”
Pat rolled his eyes. Although he often came to Winterfell, as a lord, his territory was still on the border of Jones' territory, so he could not be a hands-off manager like some nobles. Otherwise, it would take more than a week to go there and back, and he would not know when the territory was lost.
Besides, it is not easy to take out three or four thousand gold coins at one time.
After chatting and laughing for a while at the door, Gervis and others walked along the stone-paved avenue to the main house, and then Gervis pushed the door open and walked in.
"My cheap wife is still very good to me. All the home furnishings are still there!"
Looking at the rich interior decoration and the countless works of art displayed on the walls and along the aisles, Gervis praised Alice again.
Alice only said that she would reward him with the mansion. In fact, if Alice wanted, she could move out all the valuable things in the house. However, when he saw the house full of various decorations, Gervis knew that Alice definitely did not move anything in the house. He probably came to search only for some letters and other things.
There is a large hall on the first floor of the building, which can undoubtedly be used to hold a dance party.
Walk through the hall and along the corridor to the restaurant. The decoration of the restaurant is several levels higher than that of the Golden Castle in Gervis. Not only is the decoration exquisite, it is also full of decorations. Even the floor is paved with exquisite glazed tiles. The lines formed by the tiles are full of artistic sense.
"Oh, brother, look, there is so much gold here!"
When they arrived at the restaurant, Gervis was only concerned with looking at the decorations around him, but Bonita and Vivian were attracted by the items displayed in some cabinets. When they walked to a cabinet where utensils were placed, they screamed.
In this exquisite wooden cabinet were placed more than ten sets of gold knives, forks, cups and bowls. There were even a few wine jugs forged from gold and inlaid with many gems. They were so golden that they looked like works of art.
"It seems that Commander Luo Er is living a very comfortable life!"
Gervis sighed. He really didn't have golden cups and bowls like these. Most of the utensils in the castle were made of silver. Gold was too soft and required a lot of money to customize. Therefore, ordinary nobles only had a small number of gold utensils to use as decorations.
And the cabinet that Bonita saw actually contained more than ten complete sets of dining utensils, which meant that Rawl might actually have used golden utensils for dining.
To this, Gervis can only say one thing: arrogant!
Of course, all these things belong to him now, and Gervis is even more grateful to Alice for preserving this mansion intact for him.
